Google Ads Gone
On February 1st 2006 I for the first time put Google Adsense on NevBlog. I begrudgingly did this to fund my charity account, but the ads annoy me more than anything, so I will take them down for a little while.
Selling Pixels made me over $2,000 with just a little work and was more fun/unique than AdSense. However, I do see why people use Adsense. Here are the revenues from my first few days using AdSense:
Something really going against the ads is they were "below the fold" which means people must first scroll down to see them. I like extremely simple usability, and putting an ad where a navigation menu should go is a no-no to me.
This was a nice little experiment with Google Adsense for me. I learned something and came away with a total of $138 for the 28 days of February.....roughly $5/day.

When it comes to positioning, I like Jonathan's idea of two columns to the side. I borrowed the idea for my Mercedes project, added some polls in the vicinity of ads, wrote about Mercedeses (a nice natural high per click topic), and I'm closing in to about two bucks a day.
You mean your charity did, right? ;)
What charity are you supporting. It would be nice to see you post a picture handing over the google check to the Executive Director or a representative of what ever charity you choose.
For soem odd feeling, I don't think you'll actually donate the money -- you seem slick...kinda like a used car salesman.

For those of you who are "adsense savvy" is there a way to see how much commission on clicks you make with different key words?
You can see that if you have a AdWords account. Google has a tool that suggests the right amount of $ to receive clicks

I can't stand sites that are covered in advertisements which I why I only have the one panel at the top of mine. I suppose I'd do better if I had a lot more traffic, but one thing at a time, you know? :-D
